Cornish cemeteries

These records of people who were born in Cornwall but died
elsewhere have been contributed from their descendants around the globe. Very few Cornish families
do not include family members who left Cornwall for other
parts of the world. Some headstones in the Cornish
Cemeteries index are in fact dedicated to people who died
far away from their native land.

I hope that the records
contributed to this site will help in bridging gaps that
might have arisen in research as a
result of the "emigration factor".

If you would like to
contribute records, please submit them to me by
e-mail.
I am always happy to receive and include additional
information, although sometimes it takes me a while to update the site. I also reserve the right to
abbreviate any information you might submit to avoid taking up
unnecessary space on both my hard drive and the site.

The
records are sorted alphabetically by surname. Women are listed
under their married name but their maiden name is included if
known.

I am no longer maintaining a list of contacts because of the
time involved in doing so and the potential for it to generate spam. An image with a link to the email address
for contacts is now being added
to each record as an alternative measure. These are people who
have submitted and/or indicated an interest in or relationship to the entry
concerned and whom you should feel free to contact concerning their
entry. WAPI indicates an entry in the West
Australian Pioneer Index which is
on-line and searchable.

Cornwall
to New Zealand tells
the story of the
eventful voyage of my great great grandparents, Christopher
Berriman & Elizabeth Ann MARTIN (nee BRAY), and their 6
children from Cornwall to New Zealand in 1879. It describes the conditions in which our
Cornish Ancestors travelled at that time and the hardships they
sometimes endured.
